The two light and airy family bedrooms with garden outlooks, share a large family bathroom and second toilet in excellent original condition.

In the garden, there is a second paved entertainment and dining area. A swing with a wide valley view, a lily pond set in landscaped gardens.
Those looking for a self-sufficient lifestyle with enjoy the three large raised veggie beds netted against furry and feathered marauders with a veggie grow tunnel. New 2.5 x 4m greenhouse on a concrete slab.
A mature and well maintained, house orchard with apples, peaches, apricot, cherry, plum and fig trees and assorted citrus trees. Plus a fully fenced chook shed. All watered from 75,000L rainwater tanks fed from the house shed roof.
The family members who want a big shed, will love the over engineered 14m x 9m three bay house shed with a concrete floor, power and 3 x 3 meter high roller doors, two of which are remote opening. It even has a in-shed wood stove to keep the workers warm in winter. While a 5kw solar system on the roof reduces household bills.
The attention to detail, extends out to the farm infrastructure, which has been set up to run sheep close to the house and cattle in the more distant paddocks with mains electric power to all farm fencing.
Modern stock yards with a vet crush and loading ramp sit close to the house. All weather laneways provide access to all areas. Water is no issue with 3 dams, 2 of which are spring fed.
While a 33,000L gravity feed stock tank which collects water from the 9m x 5m Hay/Machinery shed, ensures full troughs in those paddocks without dam access.
The final crowning glory of this unique small farm is a fully irrigated 250 tree highly productive hazelnut grove.
